Title: Sub-symbol parallel interference cancellation
Inventor: DUNYAK JAMES P
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 2004-01-29
Abstract: Reduction of multiple access interference, in one example for asynchronous CDMA systems using long codes. In one aspect, parallel interference cancellation (PIC) implements a decoupled estimate, preferably non-linear and applied at chip intervals. According to another aspect, interference is cancelled using a technique that estimates bits for a symbol by interpolating signature waveforms for users to a common sampling lattice of the received data. According to another aspect, multi-stage, hybrid multi-stage, and reconfigurable recursive multi-stage multi-user detection architectures and corresponding processes are provided.
Patent CA-2516827-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BEGG STEPHEN
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2005-08-22
Abstract: The method and apparatus in accordance with the present invention reduces the data size of a layout data structure by reducing the amount of electrically redundant interconnects within a bank of interconnects.  Electrically redundant interconnects are the repetitive interconnects within a bank of interconnects which do not contribute to the understanding of the IC.  Therefore, a number of these interconnects may be deleted from the banks in the layout data structure, provided that enough interconnects remain to maintain the electrical connectivity and the visual representation of the bank.

Patent CA-2532794-A1 (CA)
Title: Membrane electrode assembly for use in electrochemical devices
Inventor: DILLMANN BERND
IPC: C25B9/23
Filed: 2004-07-14
Abstract: The invention relates to a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) for use in electrochemical devices, especially membrane fuel cells. Said membrane electrode assembly has a semi-coextensive design and comprises an ion-conducting membrane, two catalyst layers, and differently sized gas diffuser substrates on the front and back. The first gas diffuser substrate covers a smaller two-dimensional area then the ion-conducting membrane while the second gas diffuser substrate has substantially the same area as the ion-conducting membrane, thereby leaving the ion-conducting membrane with a front surface that is not supported by a gas diffuser substrate. Due to its specific design, the membrane electrode assembly has a stable, easy-to-handle structure, has good electrical properties and is advantageous in sealing the reactive gases from each other. In particular, the invention allows for a substantial reduction of hydrogen permeation currents. The invention also relates to novel methods for producing the inventive MEAs, especially heat-pulse welding methods. The membrane electrode assembly is used in PEM fuel cells, direct methanol fuel cells, electrolyzers and other electrochemical devices.
Patent CA-2536001-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PASCUAL VENTOSA LLUIS
IPC: B23B5/12
Filed: 2005-01-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of defect-free calibrated steel bars and to the assembly used for same. The inventive method combines a drawing/calibration operation with a crack-control phase and a subsequent mechanical stripping operation comprising chip removal, prior to the cutting of the bars. In this way, the value of the calibrated crack-detection depth corresponds to the surface defects on the bar and is slightly less than the stripping depth of the subsequent successive bar-stripping phase, such that defective bars are removed automatically.

The print request is interrogated to determine which user input device originated the print request. An indicator may be presented to the operator indicating that a valid print request was received by the data storage device. The computer application searches for information related to the user input device that originated the print request. The data storage device transmits information from the computer application for printing to the associated printer.
